“Our Company was founded by Ali
Mutluşan in 1976 on Millet Caddesi in

Deutz parts. Till 1990, we imported parts
from Yugoslavia where many Germen
automotive industry companies like Iskra
- Tam - Torpedo - Papfeda Tesanj - Ricard
Benciç and Fap Famous were based.
Because of civil war in Yugoslavia in 1991,
we began to export parts instead of
importing parts from this country where
the production stopped because of the war.
In 1993, we founded Ucem Company
and began to produce gaskets for famous
companies such as Deutz - Man - Mb -
Volvo - Scania -Renault - Iveco according to
the German quality standards.
In 2007, we moved to our current factory
with 6,000 sqm closed area where we
increased the production capacity and
raised our quality by using auxiliary
products and raw materials like Victor
Reinz, Dph, Fisher, Plath, Frenzelit, Carteco
etc. In 2011, we registered our brand Euro
Gasket so that we could produce for world
market by raising day by day quality of our
gaskets especially according to European
heavy vehicle OEM quality standards.
